Q. Are yeast and parasitic infections sexually transmittable? Can males get yeast infections too? How to treat these infections and how long would it take to heal?

A. Yeast and parasitic infections are sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s). Sexual partners can infect each other through the exchange of body fluids such as kissing, oral sex and intercourse. Therefore, if your sexual partner is treated for yeast and parasitic infections, you also need to be treated.

Most people tend to think only females get yeast infections such as vaginal yeast infection, yellowish discharge, and painful sex. Be aware, males are also prone to male yeast infections such as genital rash, sticky semen, and prostatitis. In addition to genital symptoms, both males and females can have symptoms from head to toe including mind fog, chronic fatigue, allergies, bloating, sugar craving, hypoglycemia, fibromyalgia, fungal toe nails, anal itch, etc.

Luckily, yeast and parasitic infections for male or female are treatable. How long would it take to heal? It depends on how toxic you are. Normally, one year of illness takes at least one month to heal, provided that you take the following three basic steps:

1) Follow the yeast free nutritional program closely

2) Take strong herbal formulas to control the overgrowth of yeasts and parasites

Because everybody carries different symptoms, you need to let me know what symptoms you have, so that I can give you specific recommendations. The remedies described above are basic ones. I usually customize a program based on each individual’s health condition, budget, and commitment level.

I had genitalherpes. The frequent outbreaks had precluded me from being sexually active. I was also told by my previous physician that I had to live with this “sexual and emotional handicap” for the rest of my life. I was angry, depressed and irritable. After I took Dr. J’s Herbal Detox (Yeast-Para Control and Cleansing-Balance Tea) and Hormonal Regeneration (Male Vitality) herbs for three months, and consulted Dr. J periodically to learn how to use topical treatment, how to eat right (especially avoiding sugar), and how to reduce stress, the symptoms subsided. I also learn that it’s important for me to wear condom to protect my sexual partner and myself. As long as I continue to treat myself regularly according to Dr. J’s instructions and take the herbs, I am symptom free and a happy camper again!

A. The HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) infection is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD). HPV affects both females and males. Many people who have HPV infection don’t even know it, because the infection often has no signs or symptoms. That means you can get the HPV or pass it on to your partner without knowing it.

In the United States, an estimated 75% to 80% of males and females will be infected with HPV in their lifetime. For most, the HPV infection will clear on its own. But when it doesn’t, it can have consequences such as genital warts, or even cervical or vaginal cancer.

Some topical medication may be able to clear genital warts, but does not detox your body and boost your imunity. Therefore, the recurrence rate is high. Also, the HPV is often associated with yeast and parasitic infections. So the best way to prevent the infections from reoccurring is employing a holistic approach:

Outbreaks of HPV infections are usually associated with stress. Follow the instructions of stress management techniques in my book, Breaking the Yeast Curse: Food and Unconditional Love for Magic Healing such as meditation, prayers, affirmations, deep emotional releasing, and writing letters in a proper format to finish “unfinished business.” This can reduce your daily stress to a minimum, and avoid outbreaks of HPV infections.

4)Removing Sexual Guilt:

Genital warts are usually associated with sexual guilt. Explore the causes of this negative emotion and work through it. You might want to seek assistance from a spiritually-oriented therapist for cleaning up relationship issues and releasing sexual guilt.

5)Treatment for your sexual partner:

It’s also very important to have your sexual partner go through the same type of holistic treatment. The good news is that HPV infections can be controlled and you can still enjoy sex!
